Fox-1D, AO-92 or AMSAT OSCAR 92[3] is an American amateur radio satellite. Fox-1D is a 1U CubeSat developed and built by AMSAT-NA. Fox-1D carries a single-channel transponder for mode U/V in FM. Fox-1D has an L-band converter (the AMSAT L-band downshifter experiment), which allows the FM transponder to be switched on an uplink in the 23 centimetres (9.1 in) band.

To enable it to launch under NASA's ELaNa (Educational Launch of Nanosatellites) program, the satellite continues to carry the following scientific and technical payloads:

  • High Energy Radiation CubeSat (HERCI);
  • Camera Experiment;
  • MEMS GYRO Experiment.

The satellite has a rod antenna for the 70 centimetres (28 in) and 2 metres (6.6 ft) band, as well as an antenna for the 23 centimetres (0.75 ft) band.

Mission

The satellite was launched on January 12, 2018 at 03:59 UTC with a PSLV XL rocket, along with the main payloads Cartosat-2F, NovaSAR-S, and 31 other small satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, India. At 05:17 UTC, the antennas were deployed over the North Pole and the satellite began to work. At 05:28 UTC the first telemetry was received. Commissioning is scheduled for approximately two weeks. After that Fox-1D should be available for connections between amateur radio stations.

Frequencies
145.880 MHz downlink FM, data transmission DUV 200 bps and FSK 9600 bps, 400 - 800 mW
435.350 MHz uplink FM CTCSS 67.0 Hz
1,267,350 MHz uplink FM CTCSS 67.0 Hz
